promised them the royal protection it is further stated that in 1740 a fort i was erected by a british force from ja maica and the royal flag hoisted " thus j making a formal publication to the world i and to the crown of spain that the inde pendent country of the coast was under the direct sovereignty and protection of great britain this assumption is plac ed upon the ground that the mosquito na tion was never subjugated by spain ; that it had always retained its independent character ; that since the downfall of montezuma the tribes under the mosqui ' to kings have had a recognised territory i pertaining to themselves and governed , by laws administered by their own here ditary rulers now this mosquito country is included within the limits of the state of nicara i gua which has never recognised any such i kingdom as that of mosquito if the wild j savages inhabiting the mosquito coast ' have been allowed to roam at will through \ that region it has been somewhat after the fashion ofthe seminoles in florida â€” the country not being attractive enough to draw to it any other occupants the j government of nicaragua regards the j british intervention and claim in some j such light as we would regard a treaty | between victoria and billy bowlegs by 'â– which billy should undertake to put him self and his people under the royal pro ! tection of england the occasion which has brought this matter to the notice of our government ! is simply this : the state of nicaragua i has granted to an american company the j privilege of opening a communication be i tween the atlantic and the pacific by the route of the san juan river and the lake nicaragua this fact having become known the british consul at new york j gave notice to the nicaragua company i that great britain had certain rights of sovereignty over the territory through which their projected route lay that the ; mosquito country was under the british ! protection ; and that he was instructed to '. inform the company that '* the boundary | line ofthe mosquito kingdom touches the ' st john's river at the mechua rapid a i bout thirty miles below the lake nicara gua and that from thence to the mouth of the st john's the navigation of that riv | er belongs to mosquito the british consul goes on further to \ inform the company that the port of st \ john's flow called grey town at which they have agreed with the nicaragua government to build a store also belongs lo mosquito ; that her majesty's govern ment is bound to protect the king of mos quito in the exercise of tbe territorial rights which he possesses over grey town and over the lower part of the st john's river and that the government of nica ragua has entered into an agreement in regard to places where it has no compe tence we have never learned how it happen ed that the official announcement of these claims on the part of the british govern ment came from a consul and not from the diplomatic representative of that go vernment the claims themselves ex | traordinary in their own nature involve a question of sovereignly which it does not belong to a consular functions to dis cuss it is said however that the sub ject has brought on some correspondence between the state department at wash ington and the british government to give color lo the pretensions of great brit-tin in this affair it seems that a few years ago piobahly in 1841 the ceremony of crowning a king of mos quito was performed at the british settle ment at balize a poor farce it was but it is likely to become a serious busi ness enough if the claims advanced by the british consul are to be seriously pressed by his government the object is sufficiently plain it is to exclude ame ricans from the possession of the nicara gua route and to hold it in british hand since the above article was written late and interesting accounts have been received from nicaragua which are thus noted in the n y courier : we have files ofthe correo del isthmo published at leon in nicaragua down to the 16th of august the arrival of mr squier as minister fi im the united states seems to have been regarded as an event of remarkable importance h is herald ed in all the journals as a new era for nicaragua and he entered the city amid discharges of cannon martial music and the most tumultuous and enthusiastic re joicings on being presented to the pre sident mr squier made a long address tendering his thanks for the warmth of his reception and assuring him that these sentiments are fully reciprocated and that it is the earnest desire of the government of the united states to cultivate in every way the most cordial relations with the republic of nicaragua he assures him further that it shall be his aim to confirm the present harmony between the two republics â€” and to this end and to se cure the permanent welfare of both it is essential that they should pursue a sys tem of policy exclusively american he proceeded as follows â€” a cardinal principle in this policy is a total exclusion of foreign influence from the domestic and international affairs of the american republics and while we would cultivate friendly intercourse and promote trade and commerce with all the work and invite to our shores and to the enjoyment of our institutions the people ofall n.itions we should proclaim in lan guage fi.m and distinct that the ameri can continent belongs to americans and is sacred io republican freedom we should also let it be understood that if foreign powers encroach upon the territo ries or invade the rights of any of the american states they inflict an injury upon all which it is the duty and deter mination of all to see redressed senor director !

promised them the royal protection it is further stated that in 1740 a fort i was erected by a british force from ja maica and the royal flag hoisted " thus j making a formal publication to the world i and to the crown of spain that the inde pendent country of the coast was under the direct sovereignty and protection of great britain this assumption is plac ed upon the ground that the mosquito na tion was never subjugated by spain ; that it had always retained its independent character ; that since the downfall of montezuma the tribes under the mosqui ' to kings have had a recognised territory i pertaining to themselves and governed , by laws administered by their own here ditary rulers now this mosquito country is included within the limits of the state of nicara i gua which has never recognised any such i kingdom as that of mosquito if the wild j savages inhabiting the mosquito coast ' have been allowed to roam at will through \ that region it has been somewhat after the fashion ofthe seminoles in florida â€” the country not being attractive enough to draw to it any other occupants the j government of nicaragua regards the j british intervention and claim in some j such light as we would regard a treaty | between victoria and billy bowlegs by 'â– which billy should undertake to put him self and his people under the royal pro ! tection of england the occasion which has brought this matter to the notice of our government ! is simply this : the state of nicaragua i has granted to an american company the j privilege of opening a communication be i tween the atlantic and the pacific by the route of the san juan river and the lake nicaragua this fact having become known the british consul at new york j gave notice to the nicaragua company i that great britain had certain rights of sovereignty over the territory through which their projected route lay that the ; mosquito country was under the british ! protection ; and that he was instructed to '. inform the company that '* the boundary | line ofthe mosquito kingdom touches the ' st john's river at the mechua rapid a i bout thirty miles below the lake nicara gua and that from thence to the mouth of the st john's the navigation of that riv | er belongs to mosquito the british consul goes on further to \ inform the company that the port of st \ john's flow called grey town at which they have agreed with the nicaragua government to build a store also belongs lo mosquito ; that her majesty's govern ment is bound to protect the king of mos quito in the exercise of tbe territorial rights which he possesses over grey town and over the lower part of the st john's river and that the government of nica ragua has entered into an agreement in regard to places where it has no compe tence we have never learned how it happen ed that the official announcement of these claims on the part of the british govern ment came from a consul and not from the diplomatic representative of that go vernment the claims themselves ex | traordinary in their own nature involve a question of sovereignly which it does not belong to a consular functions to dis cuss it is said however that the sub ject has brought on some correspondence between the state department at wash ington and the british government to give color lo the pretensions of great brit-tin in this affair it seems that a few years ago piobahly in 1841 the ceremony of crowning a king of mos quito was performed at the british settle ment at balize a poor farce it was but it is likely to become a serious busi ness enough if the claims advanced by the british consul are to be seriously pressed by his government the object is sufficiently plain it is to exclude ame ricans from the possession of the nicara gua route and to hold it in british hand since the above article was written late and interesting accounts have been received from nicaragua which are thus noted in the n y courier : we have files ofthe correo del isthmo published at leon in nicaragua down to the 16th of august the arrival of mr squier as minister fi im the united states seems to have been regarded as an event of remarkable importance h is herald ed in all the journals as a new era for nicaragua and he entered the city amid discharges of cannon martial music and the most tumultuous and enthusiastic re joicings on being presented to the pre sident mr squier made a long address tendering his thanks for the warmth of his reception and assuring him that these sentiments are fully reciprocated and that it is the earnest desire of the government of the united states to cultivate in every way the most cordial relations with the republic of nicaragua he assures him further that it shall be his aim to confirm the present harmony between the two republics â€” and to this end and to se cure the permanent welfare of both it is essential that they should pursue a sys tem of policy exclusively american he proceeded as follows â€” a cardinal principle in this policy is a total exclusion of foreign influence from the domestic and international affairs of the american republics and while we would cultivate friendly intercourse and promote trade and commerce with all the work and invite to our shores and to the enjoyment of our institutions the people ofall n.itions we should proclaim in lan guage fi.m and distinct that the ameri can continent belongs to americans and is sacred io republican freedom we should also let it be understood that if foreign powers encroach upon the territo ries or invade the rights of any of the american states they inflict an injury upon all which it is the duty and deter mination of all to see redressed senor director !
